Since the userbase didn't, yes, Undertale deserved it for being able to get the most votes, the whole point of contests. The Undertale rallying was actually started by a GameFAQs user, funnily enough. I'll never forget 20-25% of this site's userbase swore off of never playing the game over the contest in a post-contest poll and a repeat poll one year later. --- You felt your sins weighing on your neck. <cite>snake_5036 posted [p:986559395] in Did Undert...
